Wild Game Card Thread 60

I’m sure some of us will be paying attention, so we might as well start with a clean thread. Yankees PA blaring the imperial storm troopers theme while announcing the Astros is pretty lame – do they do that every game?

    Gawd, and full on Star Wars theme for the Yankees. They so do not understand the concept of “Evil Empire”.

      Someone on Twitter said they played it for the Astros, who are neither evil nor an empire.

    A little patience would help the ‘stros. Tanaka was missing his spots pretty consistently.

    A fine John and Suzyn moment while I was in the car (yes this is what they said):

    John: Now here’s Jason Castro. Suzyn, do you know where Jason Castro is from? Why, he’s from Castro Valley, California. They named it after him!

    Suzyn: Castro Valley! That’s the artichoke capital of the world! You go through Castro Valley to get to Napa Valley.

      Houston hasn’t been in the division long enough for me to hate them yet.

        Wait…the Oilers are in our division?

        But seriously, folks...
        • andeux Oct 7,2015 1:50 pm || Up

          Yep, and Jerry Glanville has them back in the playoffs.

          That Bum Philips really chaps my hide.

            Gotta make sure we stuff Earl Campbell – I want five hats on him every time he touches the ball.

            • Glorious Mundy Oct 7,2015 2:25 pm || Up

              I’m more concerned about Gretzky, honestly.

          • Bed Oct 7,2015 2:25 pm || Up

            Those Bum Phillips teams were a lot of fun but they just could never quite get past the Steelers, Raiders, and Dolphins. The Glanville teams were fun too. I liked the team name and the uniforms too. Oilers is much cooler than Texans.

            But seriously, folks...
    • andeux Oct 6,2015 6:58 pm || Up

      Oh good, I’m not the only one.

          I also don’t hate the Yankees.

    Oh boy, now we get to see the awesomeness that is the Astros’ bullpen.

      Nice to see son of Gregor come through with a clean inning right? Excuse me while I go do my nightly eye bleaching…

    I’m definitely liking Jessica Mendoza on the broadcast.

    • doctorK Oct 6,2015 7:44 pm || Up

      Ditto this. I wish they would just get rid of Kruk and go with a two-person booth.

  7. Englishmajor Oct 6,2015 7:58 pm

    Oh shit, Gregorson is warming up. 3 runs is not enough.

    • sslinger Oct 6,2015 8:11 pm || Up

      Seriously, the rest of their season depends on Lukerson?

    And in some alternate universe, the A’s also had Gregerson start a clean inning…

  12. Future Ed Oct 6,2015 8:19 pm

    so, have kazmir go in game one. have him throw at cain in the first, watch ventura blow his mind

    I have $5. No I don\'t.
    • FreeSeatUpgrade Oct 6,2015 8:25 pm || Up

      That could really work, Hinch should totally do that.

    I’m okay with either team winning.

    • ptbnl Oct 7,2015 5:12 pm || Up

      If there’s a way they could both go through at the expense of the Cards, that would be great!

          One second I was getting ready to watch the game, then moments later I get a call that my uncle had died.

            Damn … sorry to hear that.

    It’s hard to root against the Dreadless Pirate McCutcheon. Also Clint Hurdle and his face of many colors. Nevertheless, I gotta root for the end of the 100+ year drought.

    These wild-card play-in games are much less exciting without Oakland.

    Getting lifted for a pinch hitter before your first plate appearance, seeing him go ohforthree with three strikeouts and than at best tying a bare knuckle match against the cooler would have qualified as a bad day even in my glory years.
